Love your hair. Did you braid it yourself? It looks perfect! Congrats on your journey. I'm only a month out. I go to follow up tomorrow and will know how much I dropped in pounds but I did this for my diabetes mainly even though I was almost 300 lbs at 5'5".

Good things come to good people.

Congrats. I have been on the liquid diet now seven days. Its tough but the best advice I can give is try the Atkins Protein shakes. They have many flavors and taste great. The Protein powders have a funny texture and flavor. It made my first couple days feel impossible. This is just my opinion so far. Hope it helps.

i agree what yiu said about the Atkins shakes,they are good. i do drink the powder drinks and the are thicker than Atkins so i add a little Water in it.and it get a little thinner but i add less milk so keep it up you will do fine.

Hi guys, I went to the doctors today and I thought i had lot more than 3 pounds sense last month. I have been going hard on my work out i do. I have changed my eating and not really drinking soda or juices i will say i do drink tea with equal but not everyday. Got 11 more pounds to lose and thus is driving me crazy. Today I did find out the Atkins shakes are really not good for you, wished i had of known and i wouldnt been buying and drinking fore a meal. I also found out the dr wanted me to have 60 grams Protein and i was only doing 32 so now i know that could be one the reason i am not losing like i should. Yall tell me if i am wrong. please let me know. Thanks :mellow:

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
